Hi all...sorry to just jump in...I hadn't seen this thread when I made my previous post regarding the "Koi Hana~Hana no Koi Monogatari" SP drama that aired in Feb 2007 on Terebi Asahi. The drama website is here:

Does anyone know if this drama SP was uploaded anywhere? It doesn't appear to be torrented here, but I thought someone might have seen it elsewhere in their search for dramas. I'd really like to get my hands on it if at all possible. Many many thanks in advance!

Anybody know what this jdrama is called...
It's about a deaf nurse and i think amnesia doctor.
the music openin is this girl in the snow or sumthin,she is followin a star

HELPpppP~! if any of u guys know this drama, pls let me know!!!!!!

Hello i had just finished watching Proposal Daisakusen like 2 weeks ago. But i was wondering what those japanese characters mean during the very last scene of the final episode because i didn't have any english subs for it. Can somebody translate it for me? Please... I was really curious. thanks.

It's about a boy who's not manly, somewhat feminine, and a girl who's unrefined and rather rough, like a dude. The boy has got a crush on the girl but since the girl is so rowdy, he never got a chance to tell her [always ended up getting beat up]. One day, she's absent from school, the boy volunteered to go to her house to hand her a piece of homework. While there, he got mixed up in her grandpa's experiment which resulted in sort of a mind swap. Now, we have the guy inside of the girl and the girl inside of that boy.He became a pretty girl who's gentle and coy while she became a guy who's tough and straightforward. <-- I forgot the title of this drama. It's definitely Japanese though. Thanks for your help.

It looks like there have been a lot of somewhat random questions being posted lately, ranging from "does anybody know where to find ____ " to "is a drama based on _____ manga going to be made". Rather than making a lot of little threads for one-off questions about Jdramas, I thought it might be simpler to just compile them all, plus more, here.

I'm going to start moving any inquiries for help naming shows to this thread as well.

Just because there are always new ppl joining the board who aren't reading the FAQ, as long as nobody is specifically trying to beg/demand subs for a series, even questions like "are subs for ____ available?" and "where can I find subs for ____?" are fair game without being attacked. But as always, it's advisable to read the FAQ and do a search though this site and the available resources (e.g. Drama Wiki, Fansub Wiki, Subtitles Index) before asking.

And please don't ask for recommendations. There's already a good thread here for that.

I hope ppl will find this useful and we can reduce some clutter in the future....

I guess I'll be the first to post here then..
I've read the FAQs and done the searches.. and I've googled plenty.
Anyway, I was wondering where I could get subs for the JDramas in other languages (specifically, chinese). For example, I'm looking for HYD with chinese subs because I watched it with English subs, and my mother likes watching dramas too, so I'd like her to give it a try. I see that we have chinese subs for HYD season 2 here, but none for season 1, and it's driving me pretty crazy. There's been a lot of great jdramas that I've watched, but I haven't found any chinese subs for any of them, so I haven't been able to share them with my mother.

Anyway, if this doesn't belong here, then I don't know where since it's about the jdramas, but the language I'm looking for is chinese subs.

i was wondering what other detective dramas there are that i should maybe watch.

there's a mystery/detective type that's very good. It's old though "Ice World" was very good. I think better than the current ones. I was a bit bored watching tantei detective Q. Sleeping forest was kinda interesting too with takuya.

Oh yeah, I didn't remember ever seeing Chinese subs for HanaDan season 1. I searched again just now on all my Chinese sub clubboxes, btchina, and a few other places that normally are good for rare and hard to find stuff and only found season 2. I can only conclude that subs don't exist for season 1. I find that odd though.

If I'm wrong someone please correct me.... though I think I did a pretty thorough search.

around '95 - '97, I remember catching a jdrama in the middle of the series. It was aired on this local channel that shows jdramas every sunday night. It was my first jdrama and was hoping somebody could identify this series so I could start it from the beginning.

Basically, it stars a pudgy middle aged business man who i think was bored with life. Just living day by day. Then he meets this younger girl (taller than him, slender, and long hair), who I think was in her latter years of high school. He adores her, not so must lust, but because she brightens his day and he feels connected to her somehow. She is sick all the time, and a lot of the times the guy is left wondering where she has gone to.

**spoilers***

If i remember the ending correctly, she was suffering from anemia. She dies in the end, and somewhere towards the end they reveal that he was once in love with her mother.

I recently remembered a Japanese drama I saw several years ago that was set in a city on a mountain or hill, such that the whole city was on a (approximate) 45 degree slant, and you could see the ocean from anywhere in the city (it was very beautiful!). I think it might of been Hokkaido or Sapporo, but I am not sure. I know this is a really vague description but if anyone has any ideas please help!

Am relatively new to Japanese Dramas and have become a huge fan of Matsushima Nanako. Am currently trying to get my hands on everything she's ever done but some of her earlier stuff is near impossible to find.

Am wondering if anyone knows where I can get Sweet Season and Himawari or some of her more obscure stuff is fine too. I can read Chinese so Chinese subs are find too.

It may be better to be more specific as to which drama you are looking for and make an upload or seed request in the upload/seed request thread. Good luck.

btchina is the first place i look for obscure jdramas. strangely enough, the chinese subbers seem to love them, or at least will rip the chinese dvd sets. other than that, i'd recommend winny if you can understand that strange little program, or winmx...i find winmx much easier to use and can find many older shows there.

as for hana yori dango with naohito, its a movie, so technically a request for it wouldn't go anywhere on d-a ^_^ that being said, if the person who was looking for it is still looking for it, pm me, i'll send you some ddl links. mind you, its not subbed.

and as for the first season of hana yori dango, i believe its been subbed into chinese by subpig...there is a torrent for it on btchina...just do a search for 花より男子 and it will come up...its the one labeled 2005

some time ago i crossed a jdrama from the 199X i think (not sure, but it was old) and somehow i forgot the name and i just remember that it was about a boy and a girl in hight school i think, that switch bodies and on the opening of the first episode there is a class photo in black and white
i really hope someone here knows this series, cuz its been a few months and i looked through all the drama names i have and still didn't find

I'm just wondering if anyone knows if any fansub groups have subbed "Aru Ai no Uta" or ある愛の詩 (in English). Matsuda Shota played in it. It looks like a good romantic jdrama...I've searched the web for it but only found the raw version...If anyone knows anything, it'd be very helpful! Thanks!

Hyouheki is another, though it hasn't been subbed. Not sure about Judge, which aired just last season... haven't had a change to watch it yet & again, no subs. Both are short NHK dramas, 5-6 eps long. Also, Watashitachi no kyoukyasho ends up in the courtroom. I'd think anything with "bengoshi" in the title would be a strong possibilty as well.
